Hi, I’m Chris of pearshapedcrafting blog. I really was honoured to be invited to host at Art Journal Journey
once more - I must confess I am more likely to be seen on Instagram than
my blog these days, something I must try to remedy!
I’m looking forward to visiting old friends and maybe making some new friends with my ‘Spring Forward’ theme this month.
Meteorological Spring starts today (March 1st), although I still prefer the
traditional 21st March as that was my Mum’s birthday. Lots
of events take place in Spring - Easter, May Day, Mother’s Day and of
course the changing of the clocks which means lighter nights in which to
enjoy Spring Flowers and bird song.
I am really looking forward to March and Spring and have lots to share with you.

Hi Chris! That is a beautiful Spring page. I like your theme, and will be back to join in.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Sharon. I look forward to what you come up with.

ReplyDeleteA Happy month of March to all

Love to read about the springtime activities. Now in March we looking for nature, for sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and for hosting ❤️
“Spring Forward” is a wonderful theme for March. Spring always brings that sense of renewal and creativity, so it feels perfect for an art journal challenge. I’m sure it will inspire many beautiful pages this month.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. You have tremendous talent. 👏
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring, Chris. Lighter evenings and bird songs are the best parts of this season.
